The 15 accused are each facing six charges, including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and aggravated assault. Jason MacLean of the Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union (NSGEU) said the incident left officers shaken and fearing for their safety. No jury trials being scheduledHaving 15 accused on a single indictment would complicate matters at the best of times. A 46-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries in the attack, which occurred early on the evening of Dec. 2 at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth. All 15 accused want to proceed by judge alone.
